AR.com PS3 Online Gaming Thread

OK, a couple of members and myself thought it would be cool for us PS3 owners to get together and do some online gaming. There's a few things we need to agree on before this can get done. First we need to decide on a game. I'm thinking a game that supports at least 8 online players, pretty simple to play, and is inexpensive to purchase(although renting may be an option for some).

Also, we have to come up with a day and time. Weekends would probably work out the best. We could even check in here and get everyone together. The PS3 also allows you to communicate with "friends" via video, voice or message, and you are able to see who's online and what they're doing. I added GM & Rich a while ago and I can see when they're online, what they're if it involves gaming and I can shoot them a quick message. So if you haven't logged into the network and created an online ID, you need to get one and post it here so you can be added to everyone's friends list.

I vote for Warhawk. Up to 32 players online(hopefully we can just keep it at our little AR group) a free demo is available online, so we can become familiar with the game before purchasing and Amazon has it for $29.99 with a free bluetooth headset. $19.99 for the game only.

BTW I have nearly every sports game from 07 if someone feels like getting beat at Madden

I don't have a racing wheel and I'm still having a difficult time getting used to the PS3 controller, so any game that's not so controller intensive would be a plus for starters. I am a big fan of first person shooters though.

Hmmm...What about Resistance? I was gonna pick that one up anyways. 1st person shooter, excellent single player story, up to 40 online players, going for 19.99 @ amazon. You guys can give it a try on the PSN. It's one of my favorite demos.

Vive la Résistance

Again, excellent single player story. I can't get my bro to shut up about it.

BTW Kex, if you happen to stumble across a used Madden 07........

Holy crap.
Okay, after about an hour so a few things came to mind...this shooter feels like someone tried merging the Halo and Call of Duty franchises into a weird post WWII sci-fi military thing.
Might not be the most original game but it's not exactly a straight knock off either. And it's a ton of fun. Starts off a bit lackluster but gets a lot better..It reminds me of the other 2 games but in all the good ways. The sounds and scenery are top notch.
